I would like to visit Skara Brae in the Orkneys next summer. Can you suggest a local travel agency, and will I need a car?

Sophie Butler replies

The official Visit Scotland (visitscotland.com) suggests Scapa Travel (scapatravel.co.uk). Public transport timetables are available next April. Alternatively you could hire a car or take a guided tour.

Paul Jarrett asks

Can you recommend a website where I can get information on ferries sailing into and out of the Greek port of Piraeus?

Sophie Butler replies

Try Greek Island Hopping online (greekislandhopping.com). This website is linked to the Thomas Cook Greek Island Hopping Guide 2012 at £14.99 (next year’s edition should be available in February).
